This. It took me weeks post-positive PCR to be able to walk around the block without chest tightness and shortness of breath. Two months later, things are improving, but it has been really frustratingly slow. #COVID19

Can't stress enough that the Canadian public, by and large, support vaccine mandates.
From a survey @abacusdataca completed yesterday. Expect a full report out later this week.

Premier @fordnation will lift vaccine passports on March 1st, knowing that kids under 5 are ineligible for vaccination and only 55% of kids aged 5-11 are vaccinated. The health and safety of our kids was not mentioned ONCE in his presser. I guess this is the "new normal".

Trudeau seeking to invoke never-used Emergencies Act to deal with convoy protesters, sources say teapawt.net/i/events/1493242515927…

#NEW: On Tamara Lich claiming "no deal"
@JimWatsonOttawa's office tells me:
"The Mayor’s office has had no communication with the group that would suggest such a development."
I'm assuming Watson's office does not follow her twitter feed. #Cdnpoli #Onpoli #Ottawa

The streets of Toronto are clear, the Ambassador Bridge is now clear, there have been protests across country in major cities and local police have been able to enforce the rule of law…@OttawaPolice has not been able to despite having weeks to prepare #cdnpoli #ottawa #onpoli

Before the blockades I spoke to multiple law enforcement & intel agency sources who said Ottawa Police were not taking things seriously & planned to treat it as a "traffic issue" despite publicly available evidence raising red flags this protest didn't fit the model of past ones

Truckers/protesters who HAVE NOT BEEN TICKETED FOR TWO WEEKS will soon face up to $100,000 in fines and a year in jail under @fordnation state of emergency #ottnews #OttawaOccupied #onpoli

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is declaring a provincewide state of emergency. He calls the demonstration in Ottawa 'an illegal occupation.' He adds: 'This is no longer a protest. With a protest, you peacefully make your point and you go back home.'
Still at a loss about how governments - at all levels - have done next to nothing to shut this occupation down. Especially city officials. How is this still happening (and in some ways, getting worse)? #Ottawa

It's going to take a while for #Ottawa residents to regain faith in municipal leaders/institutions. The last 14 days have been a mess. The staggering loss of control by those purported to be in control has shaken the city to its core. People are demoralized, disgusted & incensed.

#BREAKING: For 3rd time @fordnation gov’t has declined to participate in a meeting this aft of trilateral table set up by the feds to deal with the ongoing blockades in Ontario. A source w/ province telling @CBCNews “it doesn’t accomplish anything” #cdnpoli #onpoli
Lindsay Bashir retweeted
Canadian politicians have proved themselves willing and eager to lend credibility to this occupation — and that's been a real shot in the arm for those who don’t want a shot in the arm.

One of the craziest things to come out of this mess. So dangerous. #Ottawa
